Drefly: free file, video, and AI tools - no signup, no paywalls, no limits

We just launched Drefly - a browser-based toolkit built around three things: file tools, video tools, and AI tools. Every tool is free, with no account required and no file size limits.

File tools cover the everyday stuff - PDF (merge, split, compress, edit, convert to/from images, annotate & share, extract embedded media), Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint to/from PDF), and images (compress, convert, resize), plus a downloader for pulling video, audio, or images straight from a post URL (X, YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and more).

Video tools - Crop Video, Clip Video, Reel Maker, and Record - run right in your browser using WebCodecs/ffmpeg.wasm, so the file doesn't have to leave your device for most jobs. Longer or heavier conversions that a browser can't handle are quietly handed off to a backend worker instead, so nothing just fails or times out.

AI tools - Summarizer, Translate PDF, PDF to Markdown, PDF to JSON, and Transcribe - handle the heavier lifting. You can use Drefly's built-in AI, or bring your own API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter, Mistral, DeepSeek, or Cohere) for unlimited use. Your key is only ever kept in your own browser and sent directly with your request - it's never stored on our servers.

Under the hood it's a plain HTML/CSS/JS frontend with no build step, backed by a Python (FastAPI) API - simple on purpose, built to stay fast rather than pile on unnecessary complexity.

It's still run as a focused side project - new tools get added when a real task calls for one, not on a roadmap. Try it at drefly.pro, and if there's a tool you wish existed, we'd genuinely like to hear about it.

    What I found interesting is the principle behind the product rather than the number of tools.

    Building new capabilities only after they repeatedly prove they're needed tends to produce a collection that feels intentional instead of simply comprehensive.
